And God blessed them [granting them certain authority] and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subjugate it [putting it under your power]; and rule over (dominate) the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves upon the earth.” So God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of the entire earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to all the animals on the earth and to every bird of the air and to everything that moves on the ground—to everything in which there is the breath of life—I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so [because He commanded it]. God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good and He validated it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

3 Days
In Genesis, we see that work was God's idea from the beginning. We also see God’s original commission to people to work alongside him, to participate in God's own work. This reading plan is from The High Calling and Theology of Work Project.

In this 3-day plan we will discover that God has created us to look like Him. He made us 'in His image'. We will discover what Jesus' sacrifice on the cross has to do with looking more like Him. We will see more and more what God wants for our lives.
Everyone is born with a desire for greatness. But given the rampant abuses of power we see in our world today, it can be easy to believe that our desire for greatness is inherently sinful. As this three day plan will show, Jesus offers an alternative perspective, showing his disciples and us the good in our desire to be great.
